With pictures of Her Majesty and HRH the Duke of Edinburgh in Canada, and the third, Canadian, verse.
"God Save the Queen" (alternatively "God Save the King) is the royal anthem of Canada, while "O Canada" is the national anthem of Canada. The royal anthem originated as a patriotic song in London in 1745 but neither the author nor the composer is known. It is also the national anthem of the United Kingdom, and the royal anthem of the 15 other Commonwealth realms. In addition, it served as Canada's de facto national anthem until 1967, when it became the royal anthem. In this video, we can also see the third verse sometimes sung in Canada.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
